In response to Nora FitzGerald's email pertaining to Hemochromatosis, the
Celtic Genetic Disorder:

My husband and I were both tested for Iron Overload recently (during our
annual physical exam), and I, who am Irish, have been told that I am a
carrier of this disease. My husband does not have the disease and is not a
carrier; he's Finnish.

This bears out the information from Nora. I will check out the website
on Hemochromatosis: http://www.americanhs.org/

Thanks to Mary Beth Winkle and Nora FitzGerald for their informative emails.
